Mason, I really appreciate that. Thank you.
Hopefully I get the chance to be at the start date, just taking it step by step still.
I'd love to hear other feedback or pointers if you'd be willing to PM me.

Of course amigo. CoCo is very much focused on PT. As one of the earlier posters pointed out though, they have declined on the yelling and stress inducing mind games. I saw that change around class 167 I think. It's all circular though. Haha, they probably ramped the intensity right back up. Love that academy. Great instructors especially the Pittsburg PD guys. They want you to learn because they want you to survive. It's not just an extra assignment for them. I could go on and on.

I hope you get the chance to share my enthusiasm about your academy experience.

for the psych, I would just look decent. I would wear something you would wear to a $30/plate dinner place (not fancy, but not McDonalds). Youre talking with a psychologist and he is going to test you to see if youre mentally stable, give you scenarios, a 500 question exam, etc.

for the medical, who cares. all youre doing is going to a doctor's office to check your vision, get a drug test, and hearing test. not a big deal.

If you are scheduled for ANYTHING it will be a suit and tie. From the point of application you have been evaluated. You want the job, you can deal with being uncomfortable for a bit haha.

That I totally understand and actually enjoy putting my suits to some good use.
But I know for one or two appointments they actually dictated business casual, and for the medical wasn't sure if there may be a treadmill test etc.

Also, thanks for the good input this whole time Mason. I really do appreciate it!

Psych eval. tomorrow.
A little nervous hearing negative stories about results, but I think it's like company reviews, people tend to voice negative results and the countless happy ones never make a peep.

I won't say I'm shocked because I don't know him personally, however I am impressed he got hired what seems the first time around. I just completed another PHS packet and had to attach an addendum to list all the agencies I have applied to hahaha.

yea, nothing personal against him. He just threw up a hail mary and put all his eggs in one basket (and posted every step from day one), and it just came together perfectly. Made it seem easy

Hello everyone..i have been reading this thread over and over and just recently decided to join in. I am currently going through the BI with coco county and i have already turned in my PHS. My background isn't perfect because of a mistake i made as an 18 year old. With that said the case was dismissed through a diversion program. I am now 24 and i just dont know what to think .Am i doomed for life? This is something i have wanted to do for a long time and just want some insight on the whole BI.

Id hate to tell world..but it was a white collared crime if u can use your imagination.( i worked in a department store) They were misd. Before being dismissed. What exactly is the BI looking for when eliminating someone from contention?
